Mode(l)s of Verification and Monitorability
Department of Computer Science, Reykjavik University
One PhD and one postdoc position
We invite applications for a total of two positions: one PhD position and one postdoc position, at the Department of Computer Science of Reykjavik University.
The position is part of a research project funded by the Icelandic Research Fund, under the direction of Antonis Achilleos (Reykjavik University), Luca Aceto (Reykjavik University), and Anna Ingolfsdottir (Reykjavik University) in cooperation with Adrian Francalanza (University of Malta) and Karoliina Lehtinen (LIS, Aix-Marseille).
The project continues previous work in the theoretical foundations of runtime verification and its overarching goal is to better understand the properties and push the limits of monitorability in different settings. For more information on the project, please visit

or contact Antonis Achilleos (email: antonios@ru.is)
The successful candidates will benefit from, and contribute to, the
research environment at the Icelandic Centre of Excellence in
Theoretical Computer Science (ICE-TCS), with research groups on
concurrency, logic and semantics, algorithms, combinatorics. For
information about ICE-TCS and its activities, see

Moreover, they will cooperate with Adrian Francalanza and Karoliina
Lehtinen during the project work and will benefit from the interaction
with their research groups at the University of Malta and LIS, Aix-Marseille.
*Qualification requirements*
Applicants for the postdoctoral position should have, or be about to
defend, a PhD degree in computer science or a closely related
field. Moreover, previous knowledge in logic, concurrency theory, or any
of the project's related areas, and mathematical competence are desirable.
